Yardage details on Brunswick , Pomfret Mark II yarn???

I recently purchased some vintage Brunswick, Pomfret Mark II 4ply sport yarn on ebay. The seller had no idea of the yardage and I've searched the internet high and low for an answer. The label states 2oz. 57gms pure virgin wool, hand wash, mothproof. Can anyone help me?????

They just don't make them like they used to is RIGHT :) I have some really cool peach baby yarn that is actually WOOL but looks like acrylic with a shine to it. It is amazing stuff and SOMEDAY it will get knit. I just can't find a "vintage" enough pattern to do it justice :)
